    Default A few from the flea market

    Picked up a couple cheepies to clean up.
    A Imperial Razor Co. 6/8 square point.
    And a JR Torrey Celebrated 6/8 round point, for $8

    Hopefully the pitting isn't too deep along the edge bellow the L's, in the word hollow. Its really the worst spot on the blade, that even concerns me on the Imperial razor.

    The Torrey is a cosmetic mess.
    Someone decided to grind, or use a sanding disc on it. but left the spine alone , thank god. But makes for a challenge to remove as much of the damage possible, being its a full hollow.

    The cud between the scales of the Imperial about made me gag..!!!

    And found this one on the way back to the truck, when I was leaving. NOS but not NOS ?!! YOU BE THE JUDGE

    Short story:
    Wife passed, she bought for him, was pro honed when she purchased, he never used it. So he says.
    Looking at it...I believe he's telling the truth.

    I love 'em buddy. They should clean up nicely. If that last one is a Genco, I have not seen one look like that. It looks new but as you know, they usually said Genco with the model in small letters under it. I might have a set of scales for that Imperial.

    Its a Geneva Cutlery buddy.
    Which I believe was after Case, and before Genco. If I'm correct.

    That's a nice lot 3 razors an what looks to be an entire cat. I think they'll turn out pretty nicely. That one that looks NOS is a very pretty razor I like it.

    I hope that rust isn't too deep! Looks like you will be busy for the next few days The NOS razor is in great shape, especially for that price...

    Nice finds, I'm totally jealous. The bay is my only source .
    The past 5 or so months, I have had to divert all my funds from razors to my new girl friend.
    A fair trade but why do I feel like crying then? Ha
